It is shown that the RF signal delays along the filter feedback loop can make it unstable. A simple modification to the filter architecture is proposed to improve the loop phase margin. A practical implementation of the proposed architecture in 0.25/spl mu/m CMOS technology is described. The designed filter is used as part of a cellular-band CDMA receiver to reject a transmitter signal leakage at the mixer input. It achieved the maximum rejection of 28dB.","PeriodicalId":239980,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 31st European Solid-State Circuits Conference, 2005.

As opposed to this, the globally-asynchronous locally-synchronous (GALS) AES cipher circuit discussed in this paper combines operation reordering and unpredictable latencies with three asynchronous clock domains and self-varying clock cycle times. Attackers are further confused by having functional units process random dummy data when idle.

This approach requires wideband FM modulation circuits with GHz operation and demanding linear performance. In this paper we describe wideband FM modulator and demodulator circuits implemented in a 25GHz-ft silicon bipolar technology, that show for the first time 80-channel transmission attainable. Most notably, the use of emitter coupled multivibrator VCOs achieved record modulator linearity over a 1.5-2.5GHz frequency range, and proved to outperform in linearity and noise the best wideband optoelectronic modulators. The demodulator response is linear over the range from 1-3.5GHz. Modulator phase noise is -122.5dBc/Hz @ 50MHz, and was found to be improvable through a novel phase noise reduction technique.","PeriodicalId":239980,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 31st European Solid-State Circuits Conference, 2005.
